.....pictures coming soon.
it's been 8 weeks since Freckles came to live with me.....and the past 10 days have been HUGE!! she has been coming out of her cage.....first to sit on the open door, then to climb to the cupola and now to strolling through the house like she's done it all her life. And Freckles is a CUDDLEBUG.....loves it, demands it......she wants to be stroked, played with......I am continually amazed and delighted.
Last night, she was on the back of a living room chair chair.....she likes to sit in this spot and have her after dinner snack......I was putting laundry away and the next thing I knew......here she comes, walking down the hall with what can only be described as a "swagger".......I asked her what she thought she was doing and her response...."going to work now".
That's hers and my catch phrase in the morning when I really am leaving for work......I tell her to be a good girl, I'm going to work now......she'll repeat it back and I'll say "yup, gotta make money to feed you".....she likes to respond with a whistle and an "oh whatever".
Really.....never thought I'd be gifted with such a "buddy".....and she is, she's my little Avian buddy. I'm teaching her to talk "pirate"......we do it in front of the mirror......she sits on my shoulder and I tell her, "Freckles, we're pirates now.....what do we say?" Her reply......"RRRRRRRRR".
Pretty sure she's weedled her way right smack dab in the middle of my heart.
